Sea of True

All this while things will be better That is what we heard from our forefathers Exactly from our elders In our turn, the same thing on the button When will we stop this affliction? Africa cessation power from the White to have full control of their country Everyday Billions of money is going out We only heard of it Without know it payback Our companies die down of token amount Our schools is shack Lantern to light Our roads is down at heel We own fuel yet we are still Suffering for it Poverty rampant the country Derelict house is unaccountable as well as vagrant Everyday they are receiving medals for serving their country With all their might Yet it is lie upon lie They are riding exotic cars and living in mansion They are using the interest of all as their own gain When will you stop putting your people in dangers? Very soon you will fall, you that are Taint to our nation The sea of true is as high as mountain No matter how fast your lie can run 7/6/2015

this makes me want to cry because it is so true, and even in the land of plenty, this is happening where the wealthy are taking from the poor. I feel so sad for your country's people. You are their voice!
